Grocery List Extraction Failures

Grocery List Extraction Failures

If your meal planning agent is failing to extract grocery lists from recipes, try these fixes.

Step 1: Check Web Search Skill Permissions

The meal planning agent requires the web search skill to fetch recipe pages. Confirm it's installed and configured.

Step 2: Verify the Recipe Site Structure

Recipe websites frequently update their HTML structure. If extraction breaks, update your prompt to describe the new layout or switch to a different recipe source.

Step 3: Try Manual Override

Paste the recipe text directly into your chat instead of a URL:

Here is a recipe [paste text]. Please extract a grocery list 
organized by category: produce, dairy, meat, pantry.

Step 4: Check Browser Skill

If using browser-based extraction, confirm the browser skill is running and the target domain is in the allowlist.
